Advanced Laser Therapy for Healthier Gums

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Gum Disease

What Is Laser Therapy?

If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease or are noticing symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum sensitivity, you’re not alone—gum disease affects up to 85% of American adults. At North Tampa Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we’re proud to offer advanced laser therapy, a minimally invasive, effective way to treat gum disease without traditional cutting and sutures. This modern treatment uses the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser to precisely target harmful bacteria and promote true periodontal regeneration—restoring gum health and helping you keep your natural teeth.

Why Treat Gum Disease with Laser Therapy?

Traditional gum disease treatments often involve invasive surgery, leading to discomfort and longer recovery times. Laser therapy provides a patient-friendly alternative that delivers exceptional results while protecting healthy tissue.

The benefits of laser therapy include:

  • Minimized Discomfort: No cutting or sutures means a more comfortable treatment and faster healing.
  • Preserved Natural Teeth: Regeneration techniques restore gum and bone health, helping you avoid tooth loss.
  • No Downtime: Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
  • Reduced Inflammation: Targets and destroys harmful bacteria, lowering inflammation and promoting a healthier mouth.
  • Safe for Medically Compromised Patients: Suitable for patients with diabetes, heart conditions, or those taking blood thinners.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

Laser therapy targets gum disease at its source—harmful bacteria trapped below the gumline. Using a fiber about the size of three human hairs, the PerioLase® laser reaches deep into periodontal pockets to eliminate bacteria and promote healing. Unlike traditional surgery, this approach doesn’t harm healthy tissue and requires no stitches. The laser also stimulates your body’s natural healing response, encouraging new bone and tissue growth for a healthier foundation.

The Link Between Gum Disease and Overall Health

Gum disease isn’t just a dental issue—it’s linked to serious health conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Treating gum disease early with laser therapy not only protects your smile but also supports your overall well-being. By restoring gum health, you can reduce systemic inflammation and improve your quality of life.
